Breaking Waves Riding Wind and the others had always dismissed the neutral factions across the Major Servers. In their eyes, those players were not only fence-sitters, but weak fence-sitters at that.
However, after hearing Long Teng Tian Xia say that at least ten players in the neutral factions possessed Combination Equipment, their expressions turned solemn. They knew very well what that meant.
Every Combination Equipment Awakened Skill was exceedingly precious. Such skills could affect a large-scale Team Battle, and ten Combination Equipment Awakened Skills were enough to change the outcome of a Siege Warfare. Breaking Waves Riding Wind and the others had no choice but to take this seriously.
Indeed, after the Dongfang Family and other Guild Alliances joined forces with the Major Servers, Dongfang Shitian and his group already possessed more Combination Equipment Awakened Skills than Ye Luo and his group. If they recruited players from the neutral factions who possessed Combination Equipment as well, the pressure they would face in the future would undoubtedly grow even greater.
"There are far more than ten players in the neutral factions who possess Combination Equipment. There are also plenty of first-rate experts and elite players," San Mei Shi continued. "Take the elites, for example. Based on a rough estimate, there are at least tens of millions of players whose average levels and equipment standards are comparable to those of our alliance. There may even be over a hundred million. If Dongfang Shitian and his group can recruit some of them, their overall strength will undergo a qualitative leap. At the very least, defending our cities will become much more difficult."
After hearing San Mei Shi's words, everyone realized just how powerful the neutral factions were. Thinking that Dongfang Shitian and his group might recruit some of them, their expressions grew grave.
